Is that "leftist"? It feels like some Gen Z "absurdist" (which is a cover for "sucks") comedy.

Like their memes...

I chalked his weight gain and generally rough lookingness up to aging when it came out, but it seems like he's in pain on this episode

. I wonder how different his career would be if he wasn't facing cancer for nine years, his recent stuff has a higher grade of don'tgivea****itude where he really shined.

Can't lie, kinda disappointed at him that he would decide to keep it secret kinda a bitch move imo all that being said RIP to norm, easily GOAT contender as far as stand ups go imo.

Doing comedy when your audience knows you have cancer is impossible. Every laugh you get you would chalk up to pity.

My favorite UK comedian, Sean Lock, who died of cancer a month ago, made the exact same choice. Only a few close friends knew he was ill.

Seems in character. It would be super weird hearing anything serious, let alone a cancer prognosis, come out of Norm ****ing McDonald. His whole shtick speaks to being a very private person girl.

I think we're all a little bit of a private person girl. IMCHPO.
